g. "If only educated and virtuous women voted
would not object"
Ans. If only educated and virtuOus men voted

show that the women of Kansas are higher in the
scale of education and morals than the men; there
are greater per cent OF them graduating from our
institutions of learning, teaching in the public
schools, working in churches, charities and re-
forms. There is less per cent defying our laws,
dragged before courts confined in jails and pen
itentaries.

Ans. The quality of the brain is ten per cent finer

that if she would learn more given subject
than she already knows, she should ask some
who knows less about it than she does just because
he happens to be a male, is contrary to the spirit
of the scriptures and an Insult TO common sense.
6. "By taking of the forbidden fruit she brought
sin into the world
Ans BY accepting the promise of God she
brought saviour into the world.
Not she with tratorous kiss the Saviour stung:
Not she denied him with unholy tongue.

WOMAN'S VOTE.
Eight Reasons Why Women
Should Vote, and Ten
Objections Answered.
BY G. LOWTHER.
1, REAsONs:

1. "-lQlS le government OF LUc people, 1CI tue
people, by the people,
Women belong to the order of beings called
people
2 "All Just laws derive their power from the
consent Of the governed"
Women are governed by the same laws and sub
jected to the same penalties for the violation of
law the men.
8. Taxation without representation is tyranny"
Women are taxed
No American will deny the justice of the above
principles. For these our fathers died. They lie
among the foundation stones of our institutions.
Grounding her claims upon these principles, no
one can more reasonably deny woman the right to
vote than he could deny America her liberty.
q. The greatest statesmen and thinkers of Europe
and America have advocated woman suffrage
Among them are John Stuart Mill, Herbert Spen-
Ger, Huxley, Gladstone, Wendell Philips, Joseph
Cook, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Noah Davis,
Secy. Stanton, VIM. II. Seward, Abraham Lincoln,
U. s. Grant and host of Others
S. Whatever we may think about it, the legisla-
ture of Kansas has thurst the duty upon The wo-
men of the cities Of Kansas. They cannot be true
to the interests of society, their homes or them
Selves il they fail to vote 1t is insult to their
virtue say they do not care whether good or bad
government prevails it is insult to their intelli-
gence to say they do not know how to vote.
6. The women of Kansas now have the power to
practically close every saloon, gambling hall and
den of infamy in Kansas To refuse to vote is 70
give passive consent to their continuance and be-
come thus far responsible for the evils they bring
It is great crime to stay away from the polls and
permit these vices to continue In defiance of law
when your vote might close them

8. Every intelligent reader in America is looking
to the women of Kansas We plead with you to
act in manner worthy of your intelligence, to
prove that You worthy of the respect of great

state.
z DIRECTIONS ANSWERED.:

Ans. Some have no husbands; some who have

argument might be used against young men who
are entering politics generally vote as their fathers
do.

your homes, sleep in your beds, are your bosom
friends. 1t is mock modesty that holds its nose
itapprOaches the ballot box and then lies down to
sleep in the arms of one who has been all day bat
tlingin the dirty pool of politics.
8. ''Herp place il in the home. There she yields
silent influence by prayer and education more po-
tent than if she voted
Ans. Suppose then you persuade your party to
stay away from the polls on the next presidential
election day. Tell them to spend the day praying
and educating the children Let the other party
do the voting. What do politicians for your
prayers so long as they do not find expression in
ballots? Prayer and education will prepare pco-
pie to vote aright but election day it is ballots
that count.
9. ''She cannot take up arms to defend the coun-
try in time of war;
Ans But she can make garments for the soldiers
in the front, and care for the wounded and dying
The same rule applied to the would disfran-
chise more than half the legal voters; for it has
been shown that only thirty per cent of our men
would pass examination for draft.
10 ''She is out of her sphere
Ans What sphere? Certainly NOT the sphere in
which any of Us move. In the larger part of the
globe she is mans slave. In these countries if she
is anything but slave ''she is ont of her sphere"
In much of the remaining half she is mans drudge
To aspire to be any thing else is to get 'out Of her
sphere She may suffefmore than death on ac-
count Of intemperance and lust That is her
sphere. To fold piece of white paper that speaks
against these abuses is ''Out of here sphere" She
may see her husband ruined her home deiled;
her sons disgraced; her friends forsake and scorn
her, and suffer all with an endeavOr to hide the
sorrow that is wearing her life away. This is her
politicians regard of any force, then 'she is out
OF her sphere" Such a theory born in Hell,
h0urished in the dark ages is pcrpetrated on dark
continents, and lives i'll America only in the minds
Of the ignorant preudced or superstitious az
relic of birblrsm.
The women of this city shoul vote:
Because it is their natural right.
Because this is government of the people,
and they people.
Because all just laws derive their power from
the consent of the governed and women are gov
erned
Because taxation without representation is tyr
amy, and women are taxed
Because the Legislature has made it their duty.
Because they can do good by voting.
Because it is a CRIME not to vote
Because your vote will help to purify politics.
Because every tramp, and foreigner, and unarcb-

LONG CHASE FOR A MURDERER.
Captured by Ills Victims Brs thers After
Twenty.One Years.

A letter from Rome, Ga says: John
and Lafayette Hardwick, having in
charge Corroll McBee who killed their
brother 81 years ago, passed through
here this morning and are now at their
home in Ce lar Bluff, Ala. In 1865,
McBee's father moved from Tennessee 10
Cedar Bluff with his son Carroll. The
latter ALWAYS estimated himself the best
man in the community, and On reaching
his new h me and learning that one of
the ilardwicks was the bully of the
place, was anxious to fight him. He
boosted of his ability to throw Hardwick
in a wrestle. The boys urged him on
and went TO the village store, where
young Hardwick and his brother Joe
were found. McBee here repeated his
boast, but Hardwick declined to enter
such test Then McBee, turning to
Joe Hardwick, who was sitting on the
counter, SAID, "If l cannot get Hard
wick to wrestle with me, can throw
his brother" In the attempt McBee
was thrown to the ground. Crestfallen,
but still anxious TO show his strength,
he attacked Joe again with the same re-
suit McBee then went out, and, put
ting his open pocket knife up his sleeve,
returned and said, "You may he able to
throw me, but you can't whip me-" ac-
companyiag the words with what ap-
peared to be blow of the fist, but really
leaving behind fatal knife stab. Nc
Bee ran to his horse, mounted il and
rode off. The other Hardwicks gave
pursuit, following him into Indian Ter
ritory and all over the West, finally, sf-
ter 2l years, capturing him and bringing
him back to the scene of his crime The
prisoner now admits his identity with
the McBee who killed Joe Hardwick.

So far as the treatment of the disease

SO far as the treatment OF the disease
is concerned there is none worthy of the
name. Remedial agents have not yet
been discovered that can rectly or in
directly affect the diseased condition of
the suprarenal capsules, as the surgery
of the abdomen does not lay claim to
that domain. 1t is, however. amongst
the probabilities of SUI cessfui progress
that in the near future in these cases
which medicine cannot reach the knife

Addison's disease must not be con-
founded with mcanosis, which also at
times discolors the skin, but in which
tumors, black as ink. of rapid growth,
and often followei by liberation, cover
the iody. In Addison's disease the skin
is perfectly smooth. The only resem-
blance between the two affections is the
discoloration. In both diseases those
parts which are exposed to the air and

body. Seward was so black when at the

The Boat Dwellers Of Japan.

Young people who live in London or
New lork may fancy that our cities are
crowded, and that many families must
live without very much aiI to breathe
or space for the boys and girls to play
in. What would they say to the boat
dwellers of Japan? In that crowded
country hundreds of families spend
their lives and bring up their children
upon the water, and know nothing of
the land except as they make an occa-
sional visit to it when obliged to pur-
chase supplies or to attend to some un.
usual business.
III every bay along the coast are found
hundreds, if not thousands, Of small
craft called ''junks." These are small,
fat-bottomed boats, and are owned and
Inhabited by man and his family,
Just as houses are in other parts of the
world. Their business is the transpor-
tation of goods and merchandise of all
kinds, and their navigation is a sort of
